Matchings extend to Hamiltonian cycles in hypercubes. \begin{question} Does every \Def[matching]{matching} of \Def[hypercube]{hypercube} extend to a \Def[Hamiltonian cycle]{Hamiltonian path}?

Matchings extend to Hamiltonian cycles in hypercubes

\end{question} This question is due to Ruskey and Savage and appears in [RS] (page 19, question 3). The answer is positive for $d$-cube if $d \le 4$. Fink [F] proved Kreweras' conjecture [K] which asserts that every \Def[perfect matching]{matching} of hypercube extends to a Hamiltonian cycle.

Graceful Tree Conjecture. \begin{conjecture} All trees are graceful \end{conjecture} Label the vertices of a simple undirected graph $G(V,E)$ (where $|V| = n$ and $|E| = m$) with integers from $0$ to $m$.

Reconstruction conjecture. Bigraph. Anatomy of a bigraph[edit] Aside from nodes and (hyper-)edges, a bigraph may have associated with it one or more regions which are roots in the place forest, and zero or more holes in the place graph, into which other bigraph regions may be inserted.

Bigraph

Similarly, to nodes we may assign controls that define identities and an arity (the number of ports for a given node to which link-graph edges may connect). These controls are drawn from a bigraph signature. In the link graph we define inner and outer names, which define the connection points at which coincident names may be fused to form a single link.

Graph Theory Tutorials

Caldwell (C) 1995 This is the home page for a series of short interactive tutorials introducing the basic concepts of graph theory. There is not a great deal of theory here, we will just teach you enough to wet your appetite for more! Most of the pages of this tutorial require that you pass a quiz before continuing to the next page. So the system can keep track of your progress you will need to register for each of these courses by pressing the [REGISTER] button on the bottom of the first page of each tutorial.

Introduction to Graph Theory (6 pages) Starting with three motivating problems, this tutorial introduces the definition of graph along with the related terms: vertex (or node), edge (or arc), loop, degree, adjacent, path, circuit, planar, connected and component. Euler Circuits and Paths Beginning with the Königsberg bridge problem we introduce the Euler paths. Coloring Problems (6 pages) Adjacency Matrices (Not yet available.) Cayley graphs and the algebra of groups. This is a sequel to my previous blog post “Cayley graphs and the geometry of groups“.

Cayley graphs and the algebra of groups

In that post, the concept of a Cayley graph of a group was used to place some geometry on that group . In this post, we explore a variant of that theme, in which (fragments of) a Cayley graph on is used to describe the basic algebraic structure of , and in particular on elementary word identities in . Throughout this post, we fix a single group , which is allowed to be non-abelian and/or infinite. Cayley graphs and the geometry of groups. In most undergraduate courses, groups are first introduced as a primarily algebraic concept – a set equipped with a number of algebraic operations (group multiplication, multiplicative inverse, and multiplicative identity) and obeying a number of rules of algebra (most notably the associative law).

Cayley graphs and the geometry of groups

It is only somewhat later that one learns that groups are not solely an algebraic object, but can also be equipped with the structure of a manifold (giving rise to Lie groups) or a topological space (giving rise to topological groups). Graceful Tree Conjecture « My Brain is Open. Graceful Tree Conjecture (GTC) is one of my favorite open problems.

Graceful Tree Conjecture « My Brain is Open

I posted it on Open Problem Garden couple of years back. I enjoy reading papers related to graceful labeling and try to keep as up-to-date as possible with the progress towards GTC. Here is a brief introduction to GTC. Graceful Labeling : Label the vertices of a simple undirected graph (where and ) with integers from to . Now label each edge with absolute difference of the labels of its incident vertices. A graph is called graceful if it has at least one such labeling.

Gracefully labeled graphs have applications in coding theory and communication network addressing. Graceful Tree Conjecture (GTC) : All trees are graceful.Ringel’s Conjecture : If is a fixed tree with edges, then complete graph on vertices decomposes into copies of . A caterpillar graph is a tree such that if all leaves and their incident edges are removed, the remainder of the graph forms a path.
